Find sensor attributes

Configuration

Hello

I’ve been using HA for 8 months or so now and I have just realised I have no idea how to get the attributes of say a sensor.

Cheers

Take a look in “Developer Tools/States” ??

Thanks. I do look there, I just though some had more attributes than were actually shown here?

Am I over thinking this again? I often do that :slight_smile:
